Steal £30 off enough people, though - RFID/NFC has been demonstrated to have a range of several meters under some conditions, so just stick your equipment in a bag and wander through a shopping centre. Probably pickup a dozen or so. I understand those who buy RF-shielded wallets all too well.

And then, visa and MasterCard take at least a week to pay out any money from card transactions - so your terminal and likely the entire account will get banned before you get a penny out of that money. It's not that £30 is little money - it's that it's nearly impossible to secure a working terminal and then once you have that actually get any money out of it.
- gruez 8y agoLike the parent comment said, you need an authorized terminal, which is linked to a merchant account, which is linked to your bank account (and thus your identity). What do you think visa/mastercard is going to do when the fraud reports start flooding in? Chances are, you're going to be caught before your first payment arrives in your bank account.
